Southern Style Halogen Oven Chicken

Succulent, spicy and savoury. Just as delicious as the deep fried original, this healthier take on Southern-style chicken is melt-in-the mouth-good. The fiery buttermilk marinade tenderises the chicken for unbelievably juicy meat and a perfectly crispy crust. Finger licking good!

Ingredients

10 chicken thighs, breasts or drumsticks

350ml buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp of lemon juice)

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 tbsp hot chilli sauce

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tbsp minced garlic

2 tbsp minced parsley

2 tsp salt

½ tsp ground black pepper

1 large onion, sliced

50g breadcrumbs

40g freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 ½ tbsp plain flour

2 tsp dried thyme

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp cayenne pepper

3 tbsp butter, melted

Method

Mix the buttermilk, mustard, garlic, hot chilli sauce, oil, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and the onion together in a large bowl

Add chicken pieces and turn to ensure an even coating. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Turn the chicken every hour or so
